The pitch in one line

Service Rat is the free native mobile alternative to playing Secret Hitler with friends, with no moderator, no account, and no card deck — three multiplayer modes built in, AI bots when the group is short.

Why it exists

The dev built Service Rat after their group repeatedly tried to play Secret Hitler and ran into the same friction: someone always forgot the cards, you needed a person to act as moderator, and the political theme made it awkward in mixed groups. The corporate reskin removes the friction in two ways. The phone hands out roles, runs every vote, and applies every CEO directive on its own — so no one has to sit out as moderator. And the Workers / Saboteurs / The Rat naming makes the same hidden-role mechanic playable in classrooms, family game nights, and offices without the politics.

Service Rat is the work of a single developer (iEDZ). All design, programming, art direction, localization coordination, and live-ops are run by one person from Tbilisi, Georgia.

Version history

What journalists usually ask

Is this "Secret Hitler" with the serial numbers filed off? The legislative mechanic is the same, yes — that mechanic dates back through Mafia, Werewolf, and The Resistance, and is broadly understood as a genre. Service Rat replaces the Reichstag setting with a failing factory, replaces fascists/liberals with Saboteurs/Workers, and replaces Hitler with The Rat. The corporate reskin is the entire point: it makes the same gameplay playable in classrooms and workplaces where the original is not.

How is this monetized? Banner and interstitial ads, plus one optional Remove Ads in-app purchase (about US$2.99) and a Tip Jar. There is no premium tier, no subscription, no gated content, no microtransactions during play. The Remove Ads upgrade is lifetime and applies across all three multiplayer modes.

Who is "iEDZ"? A single developer based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Service Rat is built solo using Kotlin Multiplatform — the same shared codebase ships to Android and iOS. The Russian and Ukrainian localizations are done in-house; German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese are reviewed in collaboration with native speakers.

Is there a Wikipedia article about this game? Not yet (as of May 2026).
